Auction tools site Auctiva.com has was unwittingly involved in a malware attack late last week, says The Register.
The incident came to light public after Google’s malware system warned that Auctiva.com was infected, and eBay users, “complained of security problems involving Auctiva.com on eBay’s forums around the same time,” says the story, continuing:
Auctiva.com acknowledged a problem on Saturday, initiating a clean-up operation that restored the site (albeit operating off fewer servers) a few hours later. It took other Auctiva.com webservers offline in rotation as a precautionary measure on Monday, in a move that allowed it to pinpoint the problem. Auctiva said the infection originated in China.
The site was finally restored to full health on Tuesday morning but, “Surfers who visited the site between Thursday and Saturday afternoon were potentially exposed to malicious scripts, which attempted to exploit IE vulnerabilities to serve gaming password stealing Trojans onto vulnerable systems, security blogger Dancho Danchev adds,” adds The Register.
